'''Tip Number Six''': On College Board exams, expect bias. The bias is greatest in the selection and presentation of the questions. For example, there will likely be more questions about [[liberal]] artists and writers than about [[George Washington]] or [[Christopher Columbus]]. College Boards will ask more about the decline of the [[Puritans]] than about their [[Christian]] success. Rarely does bias affect the answer choice itself, but having a sensitivity for the political views of the test-writer can be helpful in considering answer choices. For example, a College Board question will never have as a correct answer that men have some skills that are better than women's, but will often have as a correct answer that men have been prejudiced against women. | '''Tip Number Six''': On College Board exams, expect bias.
